the only amo my outdoor range bans is tracers/incendiary - they set fires , we had a couple decades ago , the rest is fine

that crossed my mind , i only owned one car that had a bench seat , all the others had buckets and consoles so it was not an easy task - as a young person i could today not so much ,
i get the mud and crud and the big doors [i had those on many of my older vehicles , ive started thinking that it was a different way of thinking back then - hear me out - could it be that the streets were for traffic and the walkways were for pedestrians and back then if you walked into traffic you could die ? in some of these era movies there were horses still on the street and they didnt break lkike our modern cars do , ? just thinkin outside the box

im inclined to projectile in this case as well as most battleship guns were loaded with that then the BP charges to send it where it was going ,

That I cannot tell you.
I always thought that was odd.
To me it always seemed like a sissy move, but then I could see doing it in a city on a very busy street.
One of my favorite series was / is Peter Gunn. In that series Peter Gunn does that a couple of times on dark empty streets. It just doesn’t look right to me.
yup , i watched that the other night but it dosnt come on till the wee hours here so i seldom stay up to watch , i came to the conclusion that the old bench seats allowed it and back then drivers had the right of way [dont walk out in traffic as my father would say] i think the reason i cant relate is that pedestrians have had the ROW for most of my life
im going to guess this can be traced back to horse and buggy days when you knew a horse was unpredictable and would never walk in front of one thinking it would stop for you , entitlement and the cell phone have changed the way pedestrians look at the worlds thoroughfares today ,
but then the fact that ive never owned a car with bench seats since my 66 buick skylark might have affected my thinking too , every other car ive owned had bucket seats , there was nothing easy about that slide across even with the bench seat but it was just not fun in any with buckets , my current truck would be just plain a pain for a young person with the console unit ,

From what I understand the talking heads saying about cantilever bridges a failure of any section with bring the whole thing down. And bridges aren't designed to carry much lateral load.
my understanding as well , but in so many ways the conditions were such that there was ample room to clear it , i guess we will have to see how it plays out but i have a lot of questions at this point ,
thiws is going to shut down the largest port on the east coast for an extended period , that will affect the economy which is already in a bit of a problem , it will also raise more issues on the condition of other older infrastructure [thats been a biden spending spree] im all for fixing before its broken in this area but as we all know government spending is not always focused on what needs doing as much as where votes come from , ..........just sayin ............dont be fooled by the next spending spree n infrasturcture

that's what i heard as well , im not a structural engineer that ever designed bridge spans , ill not pretend to understand all the intricacies or these safety redundancies they spoke of , im just really sad for those that lost their lives at this point and their families ,
it strikes me that with the described spans between the abutments that vessel could have missed them , this starts other thinking of intent but so far they are saying thats not the case , ill go with that for now , but there are very few coincidences in this world really , ill wait and listen and evaluate what i hear ,

I shall, thank you. In the
photo of her in the car she is wearing a sweater she made.
she has a lot of talent , i no longer know folks that do this work , back when my grandmother did and my first wife did , they also had talent , this is not something every person can do in my experience ,

that makes some sense - ive wondered at why one would want to change all these bits out , but why not just shoot the 1860 army's from the start ?
-
i like your taste in revolvers , as to buying , why not have your local gunsmith order it for you or just go to taylors and order it yourself , its easy with these ,
-
not yet , but im always looking for what i cant find it seems - ill give them a try

Okay, not sure how I became a subject matter go-to guy…
I am pretty sure that back in the 60’s and 70’s broadcast TV had a moral code of ethics or some such thing.
The good guys always win.The gun shots were all warning shots.
If someone was to “die” it was done in a way to not show trauma (no blood or holes)
Ah, I found it. Check this out.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_of_Practices_for_Television_Broadcastersok , that explains some of it i guess ,
i had a question as well on why in the old movies the drivers always entered the car from the passenger side door sliding across the seat to the drivers side ?

So do we. Is it great food? No. But it's reasonably tasty, familiar, and modestly priced.
We were pleasantly surprised by the BK tacos. The tortilla was crisp and an actual tortilla, not the preformed hard shell. Texture was between a fried flour tortilla and a fried corn tortilla. Meat filling was a crumble, not a paste. A slice of cheese rather than shreads.

It's a visual daily weather chart for the year, charting the daily high and low. The crafter picks colors for however they want to break down temperature ranges and each day is a row. See: https://www.guidepatterns.com/free-temperature-blanket-patterns.php

She's having fun with it. Decided she also wants a different stitch for each month, which means she has to learn some new stitches.
Along with it she's making a "rain pillow, " charting weeks with rain, and using color to show how many inches of rain.

ok , i get it now , never heard of them before but its a fun idea - tell her she does nice work ,

Because they can't hit s*** with their snub nosed .38 revolvers. Now the A-Team, they could spray hundreds of bullets around and never hit anything...that's skill!

There is no way that the road repair crew could have had time to drop what they were doing, get in their vehicles, start them up and clear the bridge...not even if they were the one's to have received the MAYDAY. In the video, posted by Joe, from the time that the lights go out on the time it hits the bridge is 43 seconds (mol).
I really don't believe that they were able to stop traffic that fast and probably only stopped traffic immediately after the collapse.
Although tragic, a bunch of luck happened during this event.
- The fact that it was 1:30 am meant that traffic was virtually non-existent, would have been a different story at 8:00 am with the bridge full of work commuters.
- Two vehicles missed the collapse by a mere 10 seconds. They will forever be glad that they didn't catch that stop light, or whatever...but will always wonder what would have happened if they did.
- The area where the workers were collapsed in a kind of slow motion. I believe that this is what allowed the two survivors to live. The impact of the 185' fall was "cushioned" by the domino effect of the collapse.
- Law enforcement was apparently nearby and closed the bridge off before anyone else drove off the land portion of the bridge into the water or embankment.
I believe that there will be some new bridge protection requirements proposed in the very near future. Dolphin type protection of the main piers on either side of the shipping channel will probably become a required retrofit. They might even require large ships to have tug assistance through areas with bridges that must be traveled under to get to port. None of it will be cheap and ultimately the taxpayer and/or the consumer will be the one paying for it.
as always , the unfolding information expands the facts over the speculation , it seems that bridges construction had inherent safety issues - it was such that impact anywhere would result in total collapse , or so the NTSA indicated this evening , t also was lacking the redundancy of safety design that newer structures have , im sure we will hear more as the investigation continues ,
but this was definitely different than the I-35 bridge failure here was a while back ,
sadly the search is now called recovery , those construction workers had no chance

cannon , manix , all the old show's there are guns out - sometimes shots fired , but no-one gets really shot at nor hit ...........WHY ?

wasnt that a doc holiday line ? im now fixated on this too , i heard it but cant recall ,

buy a life membership - you no longer need to worry of renewals and you wont have this issue - i did it and never looked back , im only looking forward to all the years i hope to continue shooting in this venue , the friends i get to share it with and the great clubs i get to shoot at , too much good to avoid the one time cost , ive already paid it off in my mind ,
and yes im going to admit i did drink before posting this , but inly a little and i stand by what ive said - buy a life membership , you will enjoy it ,

im in agreement , im about to do the same , its purchases over the last few years that got me on the lists , i hate it , everything from guns to cigas - ill buy when i want , i dont need daily reminders of their sales and such , i often wonder if they realize how anoying that is - i actually buy more from the places that send me less these days , but , their add department says they need to

yup , us too , i know , its expected here but if you consider i ran my snowblower once this year till this month and ive run it three times in the last week - well , we are getting the winter that never was till now , ive now gotten over a foot but its so warm before that a lot of its gone already and predicted to be mid 40s next week so alll will be gone soon , ,
no real reason to expect any mississippi flooding down south , we are in a draught - it would take feet of snow at this point to send anything south let alone take care of our farmers needs , not gonna happen , but im now tired of winter vand ready for it to go away

ive found his posts provocative to thought - stirring the pot , YES , but we need a bit of that to keep us thinking , the MSM isnt doing it - they are providing only the government propaganda these days , not conducive of any thought at all

i watched this in my early morning hours as well , it was moving faster at impact than the oar boat i had occasion to look at damage in duluth harbor a couple decades ago - it stove in the sheet piling and the land mass behind it for nearly 70 feet with almost no forwar propulsion , actually i was told it was in revese at the time of impact ,
these very large objects in motion tend to stay in motion in the direction they are going , its sad they couldn't miss that bridge pylon , im sure there will be multiple inquiries as to what happened , the really sad thing is the loss of life , good that they stopped some traffic , but why on earth they did not evacuate at the mayday ?

i will ditto that happy birthday , and wish you well on the rest of your lives together , im glad you were able to find the food that made her happy ive beendoing that here as we no longer really need anything its nice to spend on what makes us hap[py and content , its all about being happy these days , the health is what it is and we shall live with it as need be , but quality time together is priceless ,
i rather like tacco bells hard shells and i know im gonna catch flack for that , the fact is that comfort food is whatever we perceive it to be , thats mine - goes back to college days with dorm mates i never really cared much for , but they exposed me to hard shell tacos of that type , and these are as close as you can get to that type , it was the late 60s and early 70s so ya gotta make allowances for that ,
please explain the temperature blanket ? i like the idea of that heavy knitted cover she is making and i got no idssue with the changes in yarn , my grandmother made me a pair of boot sox that have at least for collors in two stages and i still have them today 60 years later - they are great
